Everyone slept last night. This morning we decided to run to grandma/pa’s house to surprise grandma for her birthday. The kids were so excited to surprise her. We had breakfast with them and played for a bit. We headed out and went to a play date at Christy’s. We helped celebrate Sienna’s 2nd birthday. The kids had a great time playing with the new toys. The TV was on so of course they wanted to watch TV. Nicole played doll house, thank goodness she found someone to play doll house with her. The kids played pin the tail on the dog, so cute. I love watching the kiddos play games. I have been looking for dad’s Valentine’s gift and called a few stores on the way home. Everyone seems to be out of stock, ugh. Bret may have to get it himself. When we got home the kids needed a rest so I let them watch Alvin and the Chipmunks. Nicole was complaining about her ear a bit. I started cooking for tonight. The kids and I played a bit then grandma/pa came over. The kids played with them and I printed a bunch of paperwork for pre school. The kids had a great time. Alan and family came over as well. We had a nice dinner but Nicole was feeling under the weather. She was complaining about her ear a lot. She barely ate dinner. Luckily the Tylenol kicked in and she was happy again. She wanted to cuddle with me while I was cooking. I wish I could have cuddled more. I did put her on the counter and she helped me. She helped me put together the salad. I am so full. It seemed like grandma had a nice birthday which was great. The kids seemed so tired tonight. Justin was asleep so fast tonight that I didn’t even get to visit him. Nicole is having more difficult falling asleep. I sat with her for a while but she just likes to talk. It was nice for a while but I need some quiet time before going to bed too.
